Exhibits and Analysis

Hello everyone,

Each of your sites should feature at least 4 exhibits that will form the substance of your analysis of primary sources for the final projects. You may have gotten a wide range of primary and secondary source documents during your research period. Now your job is to make sense of all the information you received by organizing and analyzing it so your audience can have a clear sense of the key issues within your topic.

You may have received newspaper clippings, videos, interviews, images etc. and should have already entered those as items in your Omeka site or even put them in separate collections depending on how many similar groups of items you obtained. Now your job is to select a few that tell a story about a sub-topic within your larger topic. For example, “The Dread Act Law” would be a sub-topic under Domfari as would “Rastafarian religion.” Or “handcrafts and natural resources” could be a sub-topic under Natives of Dominica. For each of these sub-topics, you will use your secondary sources (or criticism) to give some insight or explain further the details of that topic. Use the Exhibit Builder feature in Omeka to do so.
